Firm Unveils Project, Lauds FCT Road Infrastructure

Chief executive officer of Kay-Steph Group, Kolawole Emmanuel Omolayo, has commended the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on ongoing road infrastructure development across Abuja, describing it as a major boost to real estate growth and accessibility.

Omolayo, who spoke during the unveiling of Ruby’s Apartment in Jahi, Abuja on Thursday, said improved road networks, particularly in developing districts such as Karasana and Jahi, had significantly enhanced access to previously hard-to-reach project sites.

“Before now, access to some of our sites was a major challenge. But with ongoing road construction, especially in Karasana, you can now get to our project with ease. The government is moving in the right direction,” he said.

He noted that infrastructure remained a critical driver of real estate development, adding that improved connectivity not only increases property value but also attracts investment into emerging areas of the capital.

On the new development, Omolayo disclosed that the project comprises 24 apartment units, including 16 three-bedroom and eight two-bedroom flats, designed with modern features to enhance comfort and security.

He added that the company’s projects cater to a wide range of income segments, from low- and middle-income earners to high-net-worth individuals, with developments spread across Guzape, Jahi, and Karasana.

Addressing Nigeria’s housing deficit, he acknowledged the growing demand driven by population increase, stressing that private sector participation is essential to bridging the gap.

“Housing is a basic human need, and with the rising population, demand will always outpace supply. We are contributing our quota by delivering secure, well-planned, and accessible housing solutions,” he said.

In his remarks, the Paramount Ruler of Karu, His Royal Highness Pharm. Luka Panya Baba, commended the company for its consistency and quality delivery.

“I stand here as a testament to what they have been doing over time. I have had the opportunity to visit some of their project sites and see firsthand the quality of work delivered. For those investing here, you can be assured that the product reflects both experience and continuous improvement,” he said.

The traditional ruler emphasised that quality in construction goes beyond surface appearance.

“Most people assess the quality of a building by the paint they see, but quality is a process from start to finish. Every stage of construction contributes to the integrity of the final product,” he added.

He further praised the firm for setting standards in the real estate sector, noting that sustained quality would position it for greater growth.

Also speaking, the Group Managing Director of City Birds Group, Sadiq Ahmed Bello, commended Kay-Steph Group for its consistency and growing reputation.

“This is not their first project. They have delivered several developments, and many subscribers can attest to their reliability. This is yet another milestone,” he said.

Bello highlighted off-plan investment as a key opportunity in real estate, noting that early investors often benefit from significant value appreciation.

“Many projects worth billions today started at much lower entry points. Those who invested early got them at a fraction of the current value,” he explained.

He described the new project as a similar opportunity for prospective investors and encouraged early participation.

Bello also urged the developer to sustain its performance, expressing confidence in the company’s due diligence processes and capacity to deliver value to investors.
